AlmaLinux Now Available For The Raspberry Pi 5

([Raspberry Pi] 109 Minutes Ago AlmaLinux + Raspberry Pi 5)


Coincidentally coming out on the day of [1]Raspberry Pi's IPO is AlmaLinux providing official support for the [2]Raspberry Pi 5 .

AlmaLinux now joins the likes of Oracle Linux as RHEL-based Linux distributions with official Raspberry Pi images. The Raspberry Pi 5 images on AlmaLinux are relying on the Raspberry Pi kernel downstream of the Linux kernel for having the latest and greatest hardware support. The AlmaLinux build also pulls in the Raspberry Pi firmware package and related work so that this enterprise-grade Linux distribution can run well on the budget Raspberry Pi 5 single board computers.

The AlmaLinux builds for the Raspberry Pi 5 continue to use the GNOME desktop environment.

Those interested in running AlmaLinux on the Raspberry Pi 5 can learn more about today's release via the [3]AlmaLinux.org blog .

sophisticles

A manager was about to be fired, but a programmer who worked for him
invented a new program that became popular and sold well. As a result, the
manager retained his job.
The manager tried to give the programmer a bonus, but the programmer
refused it, saying, "I wrote the program because I though it was an
interesting concept, and thus I expect no reward."
The manager, upon hearing this, remarked, "This programmer, though he
holds a position of small esteem, understands well the proper duty of an
employee. Lets promote him to the exalted position of management consultant!"
But when told this, the programmer once more refused, saying, "I exist
so that I can program. If I were promoted, I would do nothing but waste
everyone's time. Can I go now? I have a program that I'm working on."
-- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming"
